１， Ichiro’s Malt Chichibu The Peated 2022

A superb series produced by the Chichibu distillery with a focus on peated bottles

Ichiro’s Malt Chichibu The Peated 2022 is a peated single malt whisky from the Chichibu distillery.
The use of peat in the milling process to dry the malt has resulted in a strong smoky character. Sweet, light custard cream, fruity as it glides across the surface. The aroma on the palate is reminiscent of soft black tea, and the overall impression continues to change with time.
Bottled non-chill filtered and naturally coloured to allow you to enjoy the character of the original spirit as it is.The complex aftertaste, which gently echoes the robust character of the original spirit, can be enjoyed over time.

The image of vanilla, cream and plum-like fruitiness follows the smoky flavours. Compared to past Chichibu The Peated, the overall sweetness is stronger, such as rich vanilla and banana.
